I beg to differ my friend. I have seen many many maggots living and feeding on live animals. Happens all the time. The animal gets a wound and the fly comes along and there ya go. The maggots enter the wound and will live there for however long.
Unfortunately I have also had to clean out the said maggots from the animals. Sometimes being a vet tech is priceless.
